An unlikely career path perhaps, but I started out as a qualified physicist; became an electronics engineer but soon realised I am more of a 'people person'. I worked in technical sales (electronics) for around 20 years becoming director of an electronics circuit manufacturer in Banbury.

Left the rat race in 2004 to become a freelance technical sales resource. In 2007 I realised I had developed my own 'best practice' and determined to help others learn a better way of selling. I formed Salient Sales & Training to be able to train and coach in sales, marketing and business development. With a small team of associates we help individuals and businesses achieve over and above what they feel is their full potential.

I take great delight in seeing the light switch on in peoples eyes when a sales concept is explained in simple, practical and applied terms. It's the best job satisfaction you can achieve.

I am married with four daughters; I am in the Wessex Male Choir, am a school governor, brew my own beer and make my own music.
